Description
Background
Permeable collagen membranes are made from highly purified bovine dermal type I atelocollagen for single and double layer cell culture applications. These membranes are particularly suitable for studying cell-cell interactions between two different cell types seeded on opposite sides of the same membrane. Small molecules pass freely through the membrane while cells cannot. They are also useful for remodeling epithelial polarity. When epithelial cells are cultured on the membrane, cells will absorb nutrients and excrete metabolic waste through the membrane.
Applications
- in vitro experiments: cell-cell interaction studies; remodeling of epithelial polarity; primary cell culture
- in vivo experiment: cell transplantation
